Believe it or not, this is what 400HP goes through on a daily basis.

What did all of this cost you to do?
Did you do the conversion yourself, or did Renegade do it?

Yeah, top of the line radar detector recommend for running on streets..........hard to keep it under 80 mph. It "was" a 2.0L '73 with dual Dellortos when I started and was a blast to drive until it started knocking (bad). This is just something I alway wanted to do. I'm really surprised at how well the transaxle has held up........a real concern I had when entering this project.

My objective was to have a little more power, modern heat and air and no oil leaks. Not my first Porsche but some of the improvements I wanted to make this time around.

I quit counting at about $20,000 but this is how I got there:

Initial investment- '73 2.0 running and in good condition= $3500

Custom built engine including shipping from west to east coast = $5000

Wheels, tires, suspension, brakes (all provided by Rich Johnson) = $3000

Renegade conversion (rear springs, a/c+heater, wiring harness, exhaust, cooling system, HD clutch, v8 conversion kit, gages. = $5000

The rest was spent on various upgrades/restoration.....door latches, various chrome pieces, rubber, bumper restoration (ouch!), gage replacement, seats, mats, new dash pad. This list could go on forever, but you get the idea.

OK, I'm in on this thread.

This is Ole yeller, my faithful '71 914-6, 3.0L conversion. I'm the second owner and have added 220K to the original 35K mileage.

No point in discussing pure dollar value as I'm sure the amount invested over the past 20+ years is staggering. My return in driving enjoyment and the doors that have opened to new 914 friendship is worth every penny spent.

By year's end I'll have the new Porsche sanctuary finished out appropriately to house Yeller and provide quality space for my reoccuring German therapy sessions.

Hay Mike Z., send your therapist my way.
